Myths surrounding pregnancy evolved from generation to generation from each region. Many people believe the myth about the sex of the baby she is carrying can be seen from the form of pregnancy. But does the myth is true?During these myths can not be scientifically proven, but many people believe it because people usually believe what was spoken by the elders. Here are some common myths circulating about the sex of the baby, as quoted from Kidshealth :
- Myth: The shape and the height of stomach indicate the sex of the baby. Fact: Many people believe that if the stomach down the baby is a boy but if the form of high stomach the girl, but it is not always true. The shape and height of the pregnant woman's stomach is associated with a form of muscle, uterine, and the baby's position. That's why people think having a baby boy if you have the stomach down, the baby can also go down the hips when approached during childbirth.
- Myth: The average baby's heart rate indicates the sex of the baby. Fact: On average, a normal baby's heart rate between 120-130 beats per minute (bpm), although some people think if you beat more rapidly (eg 140 beats per minute) is a baby girl and if more slowly is a baby boy. But there is no research indicating the heartbeat with a baby's sex. The baby's heartbeat will probably caused by differences in fetal age and activity level of the fetus.
- Myth: The shape and perfection of the mother's face could indicate the sex of the baby. Fact: Every pregnant woman will gain weight different during pregnancy, and every woman has a different skin changes. Thus, a baby's sex can not be determined by the shape of the mother's face.
Maybe some people are really experienced anything like the myth, but can not be scientifically proven. To find out the sex of the baby properly, can only use ultrasound in addition to predict the sex of the baby can also see the development of the baby.
